The how-to: * In a medium sauce pan fry rice in canola oil until it starts to turn golden brown and has a nutty smell. Make sure to stir constantly to fry evenly. * In a blender mix together tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeno and basil with 1 cup of chicken broth. Once it’s blended and smooth, add more broth until you get 4 cups of tomatillo sauce (double the amount of rice in cups) * Pour sauce over rice, mix well and bring to a boil. * Mix again and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes stirring lightly every 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning. * The liquid should be absorbed in that period of time and the rice should be tender. Serve with your favorite Mexican dinner and enjoy! The afterthoughts: * I enjoyed this rice a lot. It is a good alternative for the popular red Mexican rice. Unlike tomatoes, tomatillos flavor is more sour hence giving this dish a very different and distinctive flavor. The jalapeno gave it a nice kick and even though I like how it mixed with the basil flavor I will keep it out next time. I’ll also add some peas or other kind of veggie next time.
